She studied at the Warsaw School of Fine Arts under the guidance of Konrad Krzhizhanovsky and K. Tikhiy ( drawing and painting ), K. Dunikovsky ( sculpture ).

Then she continued her studies in private courses with the artist Wojciech Weiss , whom she married in 1908 .

I took for myself the pseudonym “ Aneri ” ( an anagram of the name Irena ), so that her works should not be confused with the paintings of her husband ^[1] . In 1913 she visited Venice, where, under the impression of the atmosphere of this city, she created a number of wonderful landscapes.

During the First World War, she studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule (School for arts and crafts) in Vienna . From 1925, she spent almost every summer with her sister on the Cote d'Azur in Nice . Wrote views of Monte Carlo and Villefranche.

She participated in the exhibitions of the Society of Polish Artists.
